That must play havoc with your sex life, if you apply the same logic   :-O

What sex life?

I'm afraid I just have a couple of tatty versions of these.

I don't stand up much now.

I have about 5 black Ernie Ball Straps, 2 red, 2 grey Fender versions of this:

I have a Brown Dimarzio clip lock that I won at a GasFest on the Trohman and I've just ordered one of these for the RG to go with the hot pink pickups and controls its getting.

I like them, or the other nylon webbing with cheap plastic sliders products from other makers eg Guitar Tech (JHS). I prefer them in black (blue at a pinch). Each guitar has its own - as someone else said, to save wear on the hole in the leather bit. And they're cheap enough so if you have a lot of guitars you're not spending sh!tloads.

I used to have a leather one with a big brass buckle. The buckle caused dings on my guitar when I stood it on the stand or put it in the case. I've still got it but won't use it.

I find these the most comfy. I like Satriani a lot so obviously thought I'd give them a try, but I've not turned back:

I'm in the process of moving over to plain black DiMarzio Cliplocks. I'm waiting for StringsDirect to have the clips back instock so I can move all my guitars over to the same 3" cliplock.

3" cos my Dean and Agile weigh 9-11lbs each I think, and my Harley Benton 7s bass weighs 13-14lbs. Fucking heavy that thing

I don't like those nylon ones because they're very slippery especially with neck heavy guitars. Suede's good, it stays in place better.

Fender Tweed all the way for me. Obviously OSG will disown me for the lack of Souldier, but this just works for me. they get so comfortable as they age too.

@geepers0677 - you need to share your strap in this thread

I normally blame the slipperyness on the kind of shirt/jumper I'm wearing.

+1 I generally use this strap too but I have been using a planet waves strap with locks built into it.

Will do bud:

It catches the light in different ways so a few pics below - I have two, one for my electric and one for my acoustic. Custom made in the US and imported. There are only two of these in existence thanks to the very specific name of the band.

From some festivals last year:

From the Borderline: 

It makes a little appearance at 2.55 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyZ5M8ZEj0M

Took about 6 weeks from order to arrival, but I think it was tied up in customs for ages. Weirdly the first arrived with a load of customs charges and held up in the system and the second just arrived through the letterbox with no charges. Odd.

Cliplocks are pretty much seatbelt material, so quite slippy. But shirts make ALL the difference, i cant play in my school shirt but jumpers and t shirts are fine. And I swear to god my Agile could not be more neck heavy if it tried. Huge 30" scale length and ginormous Reverse 8in line headstock, coupled with the upper stap pin ending way short of 12th.

Yeah I'm more the cheap nylon eb straps type of guy. Used them from year dot of my playing and they suit me fine, plus cheap enough to replace.

Metal buckle on strap, that's just asking for trouble especially on a nice Gretsch.
